"IN THE GOLDEN DAYS" is a novel by
Edna Lyall, author of " Donovan" " We
Two " Won by Waiting" etc. and pub
lished by ID. Appleton & Co.. New York.
1t is a story of the old English times when
the country was rife with rebellion against
King Charles the Second for his Popish
propensites and the storm was brewing
that afterwards brought many good men
into trouble. The heroine is a beautiful girl
one of the six daughters of a gentleman with
strong republican tendencies. The hero is
a brave lad, who had been regarded as a
quiet dreamer, but who showed himself to
possess a courage and fortitude that belong
to few men. The story is full of interest,
recalling the old historic times.
